  • I suppose the best-known comment on that topic comes from Pastor Martin Niemoller:

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

  • Thanks Mom. It's an old quote -- 1930s most probably -- but still as valid as ever.

    That was at the back of my mind  Didge when I asked the question. I knew of it but I did not know the exact words. SIGH. Just wait. It's coming. Thank you for your thoughtful and spot-on reply m'dear! It used to be just chilling words of what might be in some strange future. The proximity to NOW is frightening. I just hope the lunatic is taken out of the game before too much more damage is done. I don't care how. Impeachment... enacting of the 25th amendment section 4.  Declaration of mental unfitness and removal by a bipartisan group empowered to do that kinda stuff.  I don't wish him bodily harm. I do wish him to go off the deep end mentally to such an extent that even his die-hard worshippers will be scared sh**less (pardon the colorful language) and accept the fact that he is dangerous and needs removal. I'm not picky! Any of those will do! :) This post was edited by RosieG at February 24, 2017 2:25 AM MST

  • There's an article about it in today's NY Times. To be honest it looks as though the Dems are too fragmented at the moment to do much about it. To get rid of him we're gonna have to rely on him doing something so bad the even the GOP will come on side. If that doesn't happen he's likely to serve his full term.

    All over the country folks are furious. REPUBLICANS! They are demanding town halls from their representatives. They congregate outside offices. Protest. Some of the pols are COWARDS and will not face their constituents. I've seen some of the coverage and these folks are holding the feet of their legislators to the fire! They are riled up as I have never seen before. It's mostly Republican pols who are getting he**. The ACA is something EVERYONE WANTS but the inane Pols who want to repeal/replace it. The  lazy bums have had 6 years to get a replacement plan ready. They voted about 60 times to repeal/replace when they had no power to do so. NOW they have to put up or shut up. They are now on the hot seat and everyone wants to know what in the he** have they been doing all this time besides threatening and complaining? They got nuthin' at this time. Nuthin'! They have been put on notice that they had better not pull the insurance without having a replacement to put in place IMMEDIATELY that is just as good. It's encouraging. The Dem Pols are getting heat too because we don't want them to sit on their butts and not take active part in the unraveling of Trumpworld. It's growing larger...the protests. There are 7000 groups formed because of the INDIVISIBLE protestors.  At least one in EVERY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT in the United States. These folks are outraged and noisy and they are not going to back off.  We shall see what comes of this. Fingers crossed it will happen soon and be irreversible! Thank you for your reply Didge!  :)
